We had a pretty solid team with promising youngsters who then got poached by Bayern/Wolfsburg and decided to warm the bench over there instead of getting regular play time. Jung looked like a candidate for the national team when he played for us, now he completely disappeared from the landscape. Rode had a solid first year with Bayern, but thats it...Now he is pretty much a bench warmer as well.

You make a good point. Could it be then a bit of luck? You mention players for example and I thought maybe you need those up and comers to help you. Sort of Okazaki (Mainz), Dortmund's entire 2012 roster, Bobadilla (Augsburg) or Cissé (Freiburg). Maybe you need those for a season or two before they fly overseas or go for a mix with old timers like Altintop for Augsburg or Arango for Gladbach.

But you have to no doubt factor in the coach. There's no questions for me about that. I just don't see Mainz doing a Mainz without Klopp and Tuchel, or Weinzierl for Augsburg or even Favre to avoid relegation for Gladbach.
 
What date specifically do the fixtures come out, and what's the best way to get to Ingolstadt, other than the Airport Express from Munich Airport. I'm probably going to fly into Stuttgart, granted it's further away, but still probably works out a lot cheaper. I'm thinking the train, but not sure whether via Nuremberg or Munich. I believe it's quicker through Nuremberg.

The last time, City played at Bayern Munich, I flew Manchester-Hamburg, and then travelled Hamburg-Munich, using the return train ( roughly midnight to 7am) as my accommodation.
The whole expedition only cost around £150, and the train went through both Nuremberg and Ingolstadt.
Admittedly, a huge meander, but I'd do it again
 
Great win for Frankfurt! The game on the last day between Bremen v Frankfurt is going to be crazy!

I think it's a week or so after the Premier League, so the last couple of weeks of June.

I flew to and from Munich when I visited Ingolstadt (and Augsburg) - it's easy enough, but I think I read Ryanair were going to start flying to Nuremberg from Manchester at some point which is roughly a similar distance. Ryanair are generally cheaper so might be helpful for you.

Ryanair will definitely be flying from Manchester to Hamburg from October which is good news for German football fans. I will complete 18/18 Bundesliga grounds next season and I'm hoping to make a serious dent into 'The 56' too (which apparently isn't really a thing).

Who is likely to come up to the Third League?
 
According to their website Ryanair is flying to Nuremberg from Manchester next season.
Think that and train from Nuremberg to Ingolstadt will be the cheapest option.
 
I see that 1860 are enjoying their traditional end of season revival. How on earth did they win at St Pauli?
Red Bull Leipzig will be a new ground for me next season, and I’m sure their supporters will be welcomed with open arms……...cough...cough

That is the ranking right now with 2 games to go. Looks like Dresden and Aue for 1st and 2nd - and Würzburg has to go into the relegation matches with the third last of the 2nd league. 2nd and 3rd - and 3rd and 4th - could still change.

Wurzburg against someone like 1860 or Fortuna would be a culture shock, that's for sure!

Coming up to the Third Division (@cptaidan88) looks like Waldhof Mannheim and Elversberg from the South West, Regensburg (or potentially Nuremberg II) from Bavaria, Wolfsburg II (or maybe VfB Oldenburg) from the North, Zwickau (or Berliner AK) in the North East and finally Lotte from the West. I'd fancy Mannheim, Regensburg and Lotte from the bunch, personally.
